A midrange tablet released in 2019. The highlight of this model is the always enticing OLED screen, with perfect display uniformity, contrast and visual comfort.The screen has also a high resolution and pixel density. Unfortunately, despite the release date of this model, the screen does not feature any HDR10 capability and colour reproduction is slightly disappointing for blues, as they look closer to purple. This is typical of older OLED display technology. Vertical screen scrolling can be slightly annoying due to colour motion blur effect, as updates are slower than expected. However, the contrast and uniformity of the display make the visual comfort close to perfect in most circumstances. | A midrange tablet released in 2019.

The chipset is, clearly, the major design issue. As with most tablets, and especially so for Samsung ones, the CPU specifications are way too conservative. In general, poor performance can be more readily accepted on smaller screens, like ones of mobile phones, but tablets should have much better CPUs as they drive bigger screens, were any slowdown is that much more noticeable.

In general, poor performance can be more readily accepted on smaller screens, like ones of mobile phones, but tablets should have much better CPUs as they drive bigger screens, were any slowdown is that much more noticeable. Moreover, as tablets are expected to have longer usability time, poorer performing CPUs also tend to use up more of the battery's capacity. However, Samsung is not the only manufacturer to blame for this approach as most Android tablets do not have better CPU/GPU and chipset combinations. | ||
The tablet's responsiveness is decent, albeit laggy in some instances, especially when browsing the internet or using more demanding applications. The 4GB RAM configuration feels outright obsolete considering the screen and potential of the tablet, but it is, again, in line with other manufacturer's poor design decisions. A tablet with such a high resolution screen should have 6 and 8GB RAM configurations to ensure better response, especially when the rest of the configuration is not fast enough. 4GB RAM configurations are somewhat minimal even for midrange phones. | The tablet's responsiveness is decent, albeit laggy in some instances, especially when browsing the internet or using more demanding applications.
